LETTER: School Choice can't come soon enough

It's often noted how many opportunities are offered in the public school system. There's sports, music and special education programs that come to mind.

Along with these opportunities are often inadvertant detrimental experiences. Certainly not all students fall prey, but losing even one precious child to exclusively secular thinking and teaching is one too many.

The focus on extra-curricular activities often seems to outweigh the importance of a basic, good education, meaning that proficiency in math and reading has declined.

It is with great anticipation that I look for our state legislature to include School Choice in the Fond du Lac area. Up until now, there has been no choice whatsoever, just a mandate for our taxes.

The prospect of our existing private schools growing in enrollment and in strength because of School Choice is exciting for our community. Furthermore, it will be a draw for families looking to relocate here.

On a personal level, having a school that will reinforce my values is paramount to me as a parent. To finally have a choice of which school to send my children to, and to have my hard-earned tax dollars follow them, is simply a dream come true.
